No offense; I _really_ thought that you'd written the same function I 
had, with the addition of the file stuff, and thought it was funny. I 
hadn't seen the question, which was a need for expansion on my function, 
and was puzzled only because I hadn't sent _my_ function to the list, nor 
had the original question been to the list, but privately to the person 
asking the question, so I didn't know where it had come from. Plus Jim'd 
made a couple changes to the function to make it work, as I'd typed it in 
Emailer and not tried it, so it wasn't an exact match. It was entirely a 
matter of timing (and my normal befuddlement) in when email arrived that 
had me puzzled. Plus the fact that my initial _response_ wasn't intended 
for the list, but I goofed and _it_ went there too...

(If you followed that, you probably also followed the original sequence. 
I don't even know what I just said, much less what happened. I just know 
that neither Jim nor John has "offended" in any way.)

Any code _I_ write in answer to a question, on-list or off, is "public 
domain", unless I'm getting paid for it and it belongs to the buyer, or I 
specifically say it's mine and copyrighted. Anything anyone can do to 
improve it is welcome.
